This 21st edition is the largest edition so far, said Andrés López Valderrama, executive president of Corferias. He explains that this event takes place right when the agricultural sector is growing. In the first quarter of 2017 it has experienced a growth of 7.7%. He adds that everything seems to indicate that this positive behavior will be accentuated by the materialization of the peace agreement and the continuous revaluation of the dollar, the effect of which has already been noticed in the increase of exports.
